Mid Year Stats – 2018

A thing that I have watched enviously from the sidelines since I started blogging were pretty tables everyone put up to indicate the enormous amount of data hidden within their reading . I decided to give it a shot a while back and I had a lot of time on my hands today and thought…

Every Single Secret by Emily Carpenter

This is another audible book that I admit I gave a full four stars not because of the story itself but because of the awesome narration. To all those who have this book on their TBR, I would recommend turning to the audio version narrated by Kate Orsini. The story begins from a sort of…

Six in Six – 2018 Edition

We have crossed the halfway mark of the year! I am not a big meme doer. I have done just the one :#Flashbackfriday- July 2017 but I have been reading the ones put up by all those other bloggers. A few of the tags that I was tempted to attempt did not really get done…

I am yet to kickstart any project that I successfully complete and bring out in public on my sewing machine. I thought requesting this book would give me added insight on the complexities involved in more complicated projects than a basic pillow cover or quilt. I did not have the time to attempt any of…

Letters to My Daughters by Emma Hannigan

I have conflicted feelings about this book. I found it a pretty decent read till I came to final section of the book where the author has written acknowledgements and other related notes. The heartfelt statements made in this section, and the way they were written made the rest of the book pale in comparison…
